Toxic Shock Syndrom And My 16 Year Old Posted: 10-05-04 23:11pm
On 8/15/04 my daughter had been out of
town with her dad and he pulled up in our
driveway with her in shock! She had been
feeling a bit under the weather, stiff
neck, headache, swollen hands, and a
rash...I brought her to er...She was
admitted to the hospital right away and
after may tests, including a spianl tap,
the doctors found staph on her cervix.
She also had been using the new nuvou ring
(sp) for birth control...(one month)...So
it seems that the pap she had prior to her
going on the birth control, the ring, and
then a tampon for her period is the
perfect breeding ground for problems...
While recovering from toxic shock, she
contracted mono, her immune system had
been so badly comprimised that now she is
ill with unknown problems...Blood in her
stool, and urine, headache, side
pain....We have a team of specialists
overseeing her care...
Please post if you have had any similiar
or any ideas..

Wow that is just awful. Does she still
have mono? A friend of my that I went to
college with had mono and she took this
stuff called monobrex, her mom sent it to
her.
She took it for about two weeks and it was
like she never had mono. I guess what it
does is protect or repair your immune
system, which is what is attacked when you
have mono. You might want to consider it.
She had had mono one time before that and
couldn't believe how fast she got over it
the second time. Even her doctor asked
her what she did because it was such a
quick turn around. Just a heads up.
I hope your daughter gets better soon.
That's scary and stressful!
